Ancient texts call yellow mustard Siddhartha, the giver of success wherever work, land, building or business fails. Once washed and energised it always protects, nullifying black magic, tantra, the effect of buried bones and even natural vastu defects.
The state of Parjanya is read from how far a dab of original chandan spreads its fragrance, whether yellow mustard burnt at the pad throws sparks at you, and how well the plants of the house grow.
Presented as a great brahmastra: to break an unwanted relationship, such as a son's attachment to a girl the family wants him free of, both names are written on bhojpatra, rolled with yellow mustard into a cone (pungi) and burned again and again.
A lamp of mustard oil lit in the South-East (Agni kon) is called the greatest brahmastra for labour problems, since Saturn rules labour and mustard oil belongs to Saturn; a black lamp works even better.
Burning hing and making a spirit-affected person smell it drives away any spirit (pret) at once. Such a person should also always keep yellow mustard with them.
For a door in a bad position, five potlis of yellow mustard are made in the five colours of the five elements and hung at the door, hidden behind mango leaves or a mango-leaf bandanwar. This reduces the door's defect to the minimum.
A potli of purified, energised gomti chakra mixed with a little yellow mustard, made on a swayam siddh muhurta in red cloth for illness, yellow for business and white for studies. With a kesar swastik and a wish on every gomti chakra it becomes a jadoo ki potli (magic potli) that keeps fulfilling the wish.
For a couple heading for divorce or living apart, at least five gomti chakra bearing both names and about 125 g of yellow mustard are tied in a potli and kept under the mattress of the partner who wants the relationship, with a daily command.
A water kalash with five mango leaves and a coconut, set on a cow-dung-plastered spot with rangoli at the Shikhi pad, with white mustard, yellow mustard or pukhraj added by need, makes the yogi Shikhi fulfil the wishes of the residents.
Five gomti chakra, or a number matching your mulank, each marked with a kesar swastik, are kept in the tijori. In a locker, at least 25 g of yellow mustard can be kept along with at least five or seven gomti chakra.
Hang a bandhanwar of good mango leaves, ideally with Om and swastik tied on and a swastik drawn in kesar, on a main door built on a wrong pada. It reduces the ill effect of the door by about 50 percent.
When bones remain under a plot, mercury mixed into the soil changes its chemistry and can remove up to 75 percent of their harmful effect, including the spirit trouble attached to them.
When leaving home for a special task in an auspicious muhurta, carry the energised yellow mustard potli in your pocket and drop three mustard grains on your head; no negative energy can then affect you.
Every vastu consultant should carry small red cloth pouches of energised yellow mustard, because a client calls only when negative energy is present and it can come home in the consultant's bag. Potlis are also kept in the drawing room and under beds, and given to clients.
A closed kalash filled to the brim in sagun with turmeric knots, supari, yellow mustard and a sawa rupaya, kept in the kitchen's NE, ensures the kitchen never runs short however many guests arrive.
Yellow mustard energised with the raksha mantra is spread over the whole house or factory on Saturday night, swept up in the morning with a peacock-feather broom and put into flowing water, taking the negative energy with it.
Use a bed without a storage box, keep the floor under it swept and keep peeli sarson under the mattress; the negativity picked up during the day drains away and bad dreams stop.
When money or work due from someone is not coming, yellow mustard is thrown in the direction where that person lives while holding the wish; the person is drawn back to you.
When someone feels their shop, marriage or work has been bound (bandhan) by black magic, a havan of yellow mustard is done with the person seated before it; its smoke frees them from the binding.
If someone has left a cut lemon (a black-magic totka) at your door and you are afraid to pick it up, throw energised yellow mustard over it first and then sweep it away; nothing will happen.
Yellow mustard spread under the mattress helps whoever is in trouble. A cushion (gaddi) filled with 5 or 10 kg of mustard is made for the owner to sit on, and a sick child or a child who cries all night is laid on bedding filled with yellow mustard.
For stock that is not selling or land that will not sell, cleaned yellow mustard is purified by circling a camphor flame over it (prasuk karan), energised with 11 malas of a mantra and, on a Monday or Wednesday, put into pits at the four corners.
Yellow mustard is always tied into the marriage knot (gathbandhan) so the bond stays firm and no negative energy cuts it, and into the bride's knot at vidai so nothing affects her on the way.
Energised yellow mustard is thrown towards each direction in turn while chanting the dig vandana mantra, or with a command and Om, to clear the negative energy coming from every side. It is done daily for a shop that is not running and before any work on unknown land.
Mustard carries the energy of every hand that touched it, so it is washed or rubbed in a wet cloth and then energised with the raksha mantra, dipping two fingers into it or holding it in the fist. The same mantra energises gomti chakra.
After Om and swastik the kalash is the greatest symbol and is established before every beginning (wedding, business start, construction, any of the 16 sanskar). A filled mangal kalash with a coconut in the North-East of every home, factory and office forms Gajkesari yoga and balances the five elements.
A person, house or business struck by nazar (evil eye) is cleared by circling yellow mustard over it seven times and floating the mustard in flowing water.
Parjanya, the cloud and rain devta (megh, badal) at E2 next to Shikhi, brings rain, productivity and fertility and fulfils plans and wishes like a kalpavriksha. It is the doctor of crops, people and animals.
Whenever any item, such as a pyramid, is put into the ground for vastu treatment, yellow mustard is added with it as the strongest catalyst. It must be buried deep enough and kept away from moisture, or it sprouts and cracks the floor.
Yellow mustard (Siddhartha) is the main protective and success-giving mustard; the red and brown mustard used in cooking also serves for nazar; white mustard, now rare in India, carries the strongest Moon influence and is the best for business success.
Can yellow mustard or dig vandana reduce a labour shortage in a business?
Yes, dig vandana with yellow mustard helps. The biggest brahmastra for labour problems is a mustard oil lamp lit in the South-East (Agni kon), because Saturn rules labour and mustard oil belongs to Saturn; a black lamp is even better.
A young woman has been in a coma for months and scans show nothing. Can any remedy help?
The case looks very difficult, but give a command and spread a full layer of energised yellow mustard under her, together with gomti chakra, and simply carry on with this remedy.
How can yellow mustard help a couple heading for divorce who have lived apart for over a year?
Write both names on gomti chakra, at least five of them, and put them with about 125 g of energised yellow mustard in a potli. Whoever wants the relationship keeps it under their mattress and every day gives the command that the partner has come back and is on the bed. This brings back friendly behaviour.
Can yellow mustard and gomti chakra be put at a South-West main boundary gate?
Yes, it will benefit. These two items are not limited to any direction and can be used anywhere. Put the yellow mustard in properly dug pits, because if it meets moisture and sprouts it does no good. The specific South-West gate remedy is taught separately.
Can energised yellow mustard be bought ready-made, or should we prepare it ourselves?
Yellow mustard is available everywhere in India, and it is better to clean and energise it yourself, because energised items lose their power in transport, for example if they lie on the ground or someone's foot touches them. If you cannot read the mantra, chant Om 108 or 27 times; there is no greater mantra.
In door power, along with quartz crystals, can gomti chakra, yellow mustard and white mustard be added?
Yes, and more than ten grains can be used. If the pit is dug about 10 to 11 inches deep, add yellow mustard. In the dehleez, white mustard must always be put, in good quantity.
A consultant had 2.5 kg of yellow mustard kept under a bed in the South-West; a year later dowsing showed strong negativity and there were daily quarrels. Can yellow mustard create negativity?
Yellow mustard that was washed, energised and commanded cannot give negativity. Mustard simply bought from the market and placed without purification and command does not work, even a ton of it in a shop, and it may bring negativity from wherever it came. Incomplete knowledge is very dangerous.
When energising yellow mustard with the mantra, must the fingers be placed in it?
Yes. While chanting, dip the middle and ring fingers into the mustard, or hold it in the fist, for example by taking it from the bowl into the whole fist, and energise it with the raksha mantra.
A young woman who went through a Rahu-Ketu period and a spirit influence is now bedridden and cannot stand despite physiotherapy. What can help?
Spirits inside a person disturb the whole body and drain its energy. Cupping therapy was suggested for the body, and she should always keep yellow mustard with her. Along with it hing must be used: burning hing and making her smell it drives away any spirit at once, and it can be burnt on paper or on powdered camphor.
A silver sava rupaya coin, 1 gram of mercury (or Bhimseni kapoor), haldi, supari, peeli sarson and panchratna, along with a silver swastik and saptadhanya.
Only three items: as many whole turmeric (haldi) knots as it can hold, supari (betel nut) and peeli sarson (yellow mustard), plus sava rupaya (1.25 rupees).
How can one test whether Parjanya devta is imbalanced, for example when factory machines keep breaking down?
Burn a little peeli sarson at Parjanya's place: if it bursts out in sharp sparks that touch the body, Parjanya is upset or imbalanced, which is why the machines there break down and do not give production. If the trees of the house do not reach their proper height or bear good fruit, Parjanya is displeased. Parjanya is active when a little original chandan applied there spreads its fragrance through the whole house and the residents' wishes come true.
